Immigration: House Republicans Can't Agree On Their Own Plan

A House Republican plan to address the influx of illegal immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border would cost considerably less than President Obama has requested but could get upended by the political forces that long have divided GOP lawmakers. The $1.5 billion proposal unveiled Wednesday proposes to spend far less than Obama’s $3.7 billion request....But it was unclear how rapidly the House could advance the proposal and whether House Republicans will be able to reach agreement with Senate Democrats on a final deal before Congress adjourns Aug. 1 for a five-week recess." Ed O'Keefe and Robert Costa in The Washington Post.
